<DIV><SPAN class=918074313-26082004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Back
in '85/'86 I mounted a Perry in the backplate of an OPS 60 with a very short
length of the stiff tygon tubing and simply filled the gap between the backplate
and pump casing with RTV silicone. Of course I used the fancy high-temp
automotive stuff. It worked perfectly, for about one-hundred flights, but
was ultimately replaced with a rear-intake version of the same engine, which did
not require a pump.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Both of my installations are well-documented
pictorially on my website. I have the pumps mounted on the firewall, to
the side, and toward the bottom of the firewall. Ignored the vent hole
orientation, and the suppy is fine. There are NO problems with this
setup. Both of my pumps are mounted differently; one horizontal, one
vertical, but they are both roughly on the centerline of the
carb.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Installing in the backplate
would work, too, if there was an adapter to make it fit. THe pump is
quite a lot smaller than the 1.60 backplate, so I decided not to fiddle with
that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Sorry the regulator setups
didn't work.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> VP30 mounting, ARIA mount
effcet on remote needle</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just wondering how important it is to have the
vent hole in the plastic housing pointing down on the VP30? I assume
it is to minmize the chances of collecting dirt. Any other reason for
it? This is all leading somewhere...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Another question: I'm using an ARIA mount with
an OS 1.60. I've test run it with no pump, no regulator and with a
Cline regulator and with an Iron Bay regulator. The first thing I
noticed is that no matter what, you can not get smooth fuel flow from the
remote needle valve since it shakes around so much on the mount. No
problem when it's removed from the rear bracket. I've concluded that
it's better to avoid the demand regulator approach with this engine, since
it probably has to be placed in between the needle and the carb to make it
work well - there is no easy way to do that besides letting it hang off the
fuel lines.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So I ordered the VP30. This whole mess is
going into a Focus II and it also seems a bit awkward to mount the VP30 to
anything that will allow it to be anywhere in the vicinity of the
carb. This is worsened by the requirement to point the vent
downwards. It would appear that the best thing is to move both the pump
and needle valve as close and as level to the carb as possible. So
far, all I can see as a way to do this is to mount it all to the cowl
(again). Yuch. Any other thoughts on this? Can I safely put it
as far back as the side of the engine box and expect it to work
well?</FONT></DIV>
